That’s a nasty story. Thankfully no one was physically hurt. It could have been much more tragic.

It must be very hard to deal with the news of being cheated on, especially if the realization comes quite suddenly.

Someone who betrays you by cheating deserves contempt, of course you will be terribly hurt but turn that anger into strength and rebuild your life.

Someone who betrays your trust by cheating is not worth wasting your emotional energy on. Keep your dignity.

Good point Kernow, sure have your say, but don’t let it get out of hand, he really wasn’t worth it.

Sometimes less is more! It may be better not to waste your words or your energy on a cheater.

I think it is a case of picking your moment in terms of what you say, and how you say it. I agree wit Lisa’s definition of dignity.

SageMother, I agree with you, having your dignity just means that you will not degrade yourself in an attempt to get back at the cheater, but there are effective ways of voicing your thoughts.

If we think about it before we entered a relationship, we had a life that we would speak to this person about. There was always something happening which we would relate. After being together for a while, if we no longer have those other things to talk about, we end up not talking at all. Friends outside are good.

I think some times people need to act on their rage with objects, so they wouldn’t do it against the people. I don’t know how would i react with certain situations, but I hope I would remain calm or scream but not hurt physically anything or anybody.

“Dignity intact” doesn’t necessarily mean walking away without satisfaction reaped. There is something to be said for venting on that person who has harmed you.

If more women cultivated controlled anger, they would be emotionally healthier in the long run, IMHO.
